I loved every bit of the story. The kind of book I would like, since you asked, is one like what I have just read. Starts at the beginning and goes on, with photos and recipes here and there, maybe garden tips. (I don't know if you ever read Under the Tuscan Sun, but when I read it and loved it, I can remember at one point reading a recipe she through in there, jumping up, putting down the book and making a polenta cake with cream custard then and there. <BR/>It would be great to have your writings and recipes and photos in book form.anna mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513524683155752377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1161560432461528432006-10-22T18:40:00.000-05:002006-10-22T18:40:00.000-05:00I read yours and live vicariously through your eye...I read yours and live vicariously through your eyes.

Now I love your photography very much, but I think the story would be suited to drawings. Your barn scene on the front with all your animal family on the back. Large print for boomers. Pages decorated with your heart rocks strung along the top would be a nice touch. Check out lulu.com for self publishing. I have had good results there.

Nothing was sacred. The geraniums, the sweet peas, the rose bushes, the hostas, raspberry canes, all turned into deer fodder and that's not even counting the veggies...the pepper plants, tomatoes and more that disappeared overnight. My neighbour has a huge white beard and he made little bundles of hair wrapped in cheesecloth and hung them on his nibbled-to-bits honeysuckle and the deer immediately lost interest(although after several rains, they look like some huge alien caterpillars might emerge). I'm going to give bars of soap a try in the spring. It's either the deer or me and I'm not giving up yet. Thanks so much for the fantastic read...publish soon!Barbhttp://www.greenwellies.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1161403584816291152006-10-20T23:06:00.000-05:002006-10-20T23:06:00.000-05:00I recently read somewhere that many new writers ar...I recently read somewhere that many new writers are using online publishing tools and sites to publish their own work...might be worth looking into.Barbhttp://www.greenwellies.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1161396305598047422006-10-20T21:05:00.000-05:002006-10-20T21:05:00.000-05:00I'm saving it for tomorrow when I'll be more alert...I'm saving it for tomorrow when I'll be more alert and can really enjoy it.
